Aiden is Five Months


Aiden is more like five and half months now, but I haven't had the time to blog with two busy little ones. Aiden's biggest accomplishment this month is that he has finally learned to roll over. He can roll from his tummy to his back, but has yet to do the other way. I think it took him a little while longer because he has always hated being on his belly (a huge difference from Aubrey who loved laying and sleeping on her belly). He is getting the hang of it now and will play for short periods of time on his belly. He would much rather sit up or stand (with help) to see whats going on.
Aiden is learning to like his baby food, but would much rather eat what we are eating. He won't open his mouth sometimes for baby peas or green beans, but will always open up for our mashed potatoes or to suck on a piece of fruit.
He is still not a very good sleeper and wakes up about three times a night. I have accepted this and think my body has adapted to little sleep. Aiden goes down about 7:30 0r 8pm and I have to wake up at 4:30am for work. He takes multiple small cat naps throughout the day.
Aiden is definitely a growing boy and already wears 6-9 month clothing. We will see how much he weighs at his next 6 month visit.
Here are some pictures of Aiden this past month and from when uncle Andre came to visit. He loves to smile!

Mommy's big helper and cereal

Aubrey has turned out to be a great big sister and wants to help with Aiden whenever she can. Aiden has started cereal and Aubrey has to be the one to feed him every night. We are working on getting the spoon to his mouth (not his eye) and gently putting it on his lips (not down the back of his throat)! Aiden is a trooper (not gagging too much) and just enjoys the entertainment of his big sister. He has yet to master swallowing but will get a couple of spoonfuls down. I am sure once we move to fruits and veggies he will get the hang of it and my laundry load will increase due to Aubrey's feeding technique.











Not sure . . .


Thinking about it . . .

Success!!
